Abstract
The study examines empirically the nexus between financial development and carbon emission by giving particular emphasis the non-linear relations. To this purpose we used data for 52 countries over the period 2001-2014 and estimated the empirical model with system GMM method. The results indicate the validity of environmental Kuznets curve, and the positive significant effect of urban population and electric consumption on the carbon emission. Results indicate that there is U shaped relation between financial development and carbon emission indicating that at higher stages of financial development carbon emission increases by increasing rates. Moreover, the interaction variable between financial development and GDP per capita is positive significant.

Abstract
Bu çalışma finansal gelişme ve karbon salınımı arasındaki ilişkiyi özellikle doğrusal olmayan ilişkilere yer verilerek uygulamalı olarak incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaca uygun olarak 52 ülke verisini 2001-2014 dönemi için tasarlanan ekonometrik model çerçevesinde Sistem GMM yaklaşımı ile tahmin ettik. Sonuçlar, çevresel Kuznets eğrisinin varlığını ve şehirsel nüfusun ve elektrik tüketiminin karbon salınımı üzerine pozitif etkilerini göstermiştir. Sonuçlar, finansal gelişme ve karbon salınımı arasında U-biçiminde bir ilişkinin olduğunu ve finansal gelişmenin yüksek aşamalarında karbon salınımın yüksek derecelerde arttığını göstermiştir. İlaveten, kişi başına Gayrisafi Yurtiçi Hasıla ve finansal gelişme arasındaki etkileşimin katsayısı pozitiftir.
